Which Headlights? Tail lights?

SwiftAriah · October 22nd, 2009, 09:28 PM

Hello everyone, I just joined MM today and was wondering what exterior mods/upgrades i should get for my car. Its a Green 2000 v6.

I was looking into new headlights/tail lights. Possibly stripes. Possibly fog lights.

Feel free to add some suggestions as to what you think would look the best.

Help me out please, Thanks

to MM!
and in my opinion OEM headlights and tail lights or smoked headlights and tail lights are the only way to go. Fog lights look amazing, although i am still working on getting wiring for mine

and for stripes, they tend to be more difficult to make look right on the new edges, but i really like them when done right.

SwiftAriah · October 22nd, 2009, 09:36 PM

ok thanks

ill look into that.

my only concern about the stripes is i dont know what i am doing and dont want to mess up

SwiftAriah · October 22nd, 2009, 09:47 PM

I also am looking into getting a new exhaust without spending a lot of money.

suggestions?

Headlights, black smoked with clear corners. Tailights, dont change them. Tint them, but dont change

+1

As far as exhuast, save up and go to a local muffler shop and see about getting a custom system made. I got divorced dual midpipes, flowmaster 40 mufflers, and 3.5" tips. Total came to about $490 but I've been told I could have gotten it for a little less.

white03v6 · October 23rd, 2009, 12:15 AM

for exhaust i would go divorced duals and thrush welded. it will be cheaper than the flowmaster 40s, and imho sounds much better.

YouTube - 2000 Mustang V6 with Flowmaster 40's

I'm not sure if this one had divorced midpipes (but it sounds very similar to mine)

YouTube - V6 Mustang Thrush Dual Exhaust

But I know this one did

Just a quick reference. If you want to see what other mufflers sound like you can always check YouTube. Just make sure you're listening to a V6 and not a V8.

if you are gonna get stripes i think that some white ones would look pretty sweet on the green =)

white03v6 · October 23rd, 2009, 01:44 AM

i think black stripes would look better on green personally, but to each their own.

+1 on the black stripes

And wait till Safi posts up his exhaust video of his straight piped exhuast with thrush weld in mufflers and 45" tips

mcqueen · October 23rd, 2009, 01:59 AM

Haha I think I've seen that video in every exhaust thread I've read

6ER THEN I 8ER! · October 23rd, 2009, 02:03 AM

well since this is already turning into a video thread to help the guy out ill say check out the exhaust thread...but seeing how saying that never works...here's one i made today...sry i couldn't get on it due to neighbors

...i need to go out to the country to do some drive-bys...this is now dumped right off of the mufflers...made a hell of a difference...i made sure this time though to have the turndowns facing the sides instead of the ground...saved me the vibration issue...when im on it imagine the orange one from before, but louder

YouTube - mustang v6 STOCK

as for your tails and headlights...it's been listed...i personally love stockers...just clear lenses and tinted front and back...smoked is even better

whitestang04 · October 23rd, 2009, 02:05 AM

yeah black would look good too, i just thought it would be different with the green with white stipes but yeah lol either would look sweet
stripes really will set it off!

6ER THEN I 8ER! · October 23rd, 2009, 02:17 AM

hmmm....lets see a larger pic of your car...i had stripes but then noticed that it made my stang look like the rest around here that had stripes...thinking about some ultra flat black accents though...

RFM 40th V6 · October 23rd, 2009, 03:03 AM

I also agree on smoking or tinting the tails and head lights.

I used a can of VHT Nite Shades spray tint on mine and they turned out very nice.
However, if you're not careful they could look like crap.

Here are mine.

SwiftAriah · October 23rd, 2009, 02:07 PM

Really need stripes to help out with the chips on the roof

here you go

thanks for all the replies so far

snowdog2898 · October 23rd, 2009, 02:12 PM

Cheapest and nicest mod for the taillights and headlights is definitely tinting them

mcqueen · October 23rd, 2009, 02:14 PM

Don't worry about the chips in the roof, only really tall people see that part of the car

I think black stripes would like nice. You should also get the black vinyl lettering to go in the "MUSTANG" on the rear bumper. I always think that's more aesthetically pleasing than just the simple indention of the name. Your headlights look kind of foggy (not as bad as my original ones were) so you should try using a plastic polish or something similar to get them shined up. Or you could just buy new housings. I got a set of tinted OEM headlight housings on eBay for $85. Aside from that, you might want to invest in a set of rims when you get the money saved up. Those 16" rims look to be stock

SwiftAriah · October 23rd, 2009, 02:21 PM

I am thinking about buying the spray on smoked color paint.. since that is extremely cheap
